- The Oppo Find X9 Ultra will launch globally on April 21
- The ‘global’ launch is unlikely to include the US
- This could be the best camera phone we’ve ever tested
When it comes to mobile photography, we found the Oppo Find X8 Ultra to beat most competitors hands down, but it wasn’t readily available outside of China. However, the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will launch globally soon – and it’s likely to be even more impressive.
Pete Lau – Chief Product Officer at Oppo – has written on X that the phone will be launched globally on April 21. It’s the same date as the launch in China, so unlike some Chinese phones, it looks like we won’t even have to wait any longer for a launch outside of its home country.
That said, ‘global’ doesn’t necessarily mean the Find X9 Ultra will be sold everywhere – for example, we wouldn’t expect an official US release based on past form, but there’s a good chance it will be available in the UK.

Great specs and a major upgrade
We also don’t yet know for sure what specs this phone will come with, but content creator Sanju Choudhary has published a hands-on overview of the rumored upgrades, which include a new 200MP main sensor and a 200MP 3x telephoto camera instead of the 50MP modules on the current model.
That’s not the end of the Find X9 Ultra’s camera story either, with the phone also rumored to have a 50MP ultra-wide, a 50MP periscope camera and a 50MP selfie snapper.
Other rumored specs include a massive 7,050mAh battery with 100W charging, a top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, and a 6.82-inch 120Hz display. So this could be a real powerhouse of a phone.
But its cameras are likely to be the stars of the show, with commentators describing the Find X9 Ultra as “a camera reconstruction project disguised as a phone.” So, in short, if you want a phone that doesn’t compromise on cameras, you might want to consider Oppo’s incoming flagship for your next upgrade.
Still, it remains to be seen how good the Oppo Find X9 Ultra will be in practice, so stay tuned to TechRadar for our hands-on impressions when it launches.
